Meet the people who make up STEM Faculty.
Paul Mulholland's research is concerned with developing computational tools and methods to help people make sense of information, and develop and express their ideas. He has been a Principal Investigator or Co-Investigator on 12 national or European projects delivering outcomes including: technologies for the visitor use of archives and museum collections, mobile applications for formal and informal learning; automated narrative generation tools; and semantic and knowledge technologies for school and work-based learning. He has a first degree in psychology, a Masters degree in computing and PhD in cognitive science. He has published over 100 conference and journal articles.
As part of the EU-funded project PlaceMUS XR: Digital Journeys across Musical Places in Europe and Extended Realities, he is involved in the development of musical tools, interfaces and instruments aimed at deepening active musical engagement for all - including people with little or no musical training, people with physical or sensory disabilities and anyone learning or playing existing musical instruments.
As part of the European Union Horizon 2020 SPICE project he was working on tools and methods to support Citizen Curation, in which citizens are supported in developing personal interpretations of cultural artefacts, sharing their own perspective and understanding the perspectives of others.
Within the European Union Horizon 2020 Polifonia project he was working on the use of visualisation, gesture and haptic interfaces to create novel ways of interacting with musical content.
My research falls in the areas of technology enhanced learning, human computer interaction, museum informatics, digital humanities and music computing.
